Over the last ten years there has been a huge growth in the area of materials for design, but most books on this subject deal with advanced, semi-formed materials (that is, materials sold as sheet, rod, tube, etc.). This book provides much-needed information on the raw materials…
The field of medicine as a formal discipline has been traced by many to Imhotep and his descriptions of ailments and treatments found written on papyrus and translated in the mid-1800s by Edwin Smith. Among the medical descriptions included in Imhotep's writings are cervical dis…
Polymer Compounding, Volume 1 focuses on aspects of the raw materials used in polymer processing. Polymer compounding comprises a complex heterogeneous system of polymers and other ingredients and, in many ways, the preparation of these materials is still very much an art. It is…
Transmission electron microscope (TEM) is a very powerful tool for characterizing various types of materials. Using a light microscope, the imaging resolution is at several hundred nanometers, and for a scanning electron microscope, SEM, at several nanometers. The imaging resolu…

From the history of plastics and membranes in architecture to their material properties and requirements in construction and design, this text provides a comprehensive overview of the subject.
Das Standardwerk zur Werkstoffkunde liegt wieder in neuer Auflage normenaktualisiert vor. Das Kapitel Kunststoffe wurde vollständig neu verfasst. Das medienneutrale Format erforderte ein einspaltiges Layout, das durch mehr Übersichtlichkeit überzeugt und die bewährte didaktische…
Polymer flooding is a well-established chemical EOR technique. However, its application in high temperature and high salinity carbonate reservoirs is still a challenging task due to the unavailability of polymers which can withstand these reservoir conditions. Candidate polymers…
Organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology is currently a topic of great interest for potentially low cost solar energy conversion and possibility of many novel PV applications (e.g., building-integrated PV, portable solar cells). Successful commercialization of this technology, howe…
Traditional methods for measuring the adhesion between fiber and polymers, using single fibers, have problems due to the unknown frictional effects, Poisson's shrinkages or expansions, and uncertainties about failure process. Also environmental studies using these techniques are…
